Rancher and renaissance man Deke Kermarrec intends to propose marriage to his ladylove, winemaker Marguerite Devereaux, and as is his nature, he’s planned for every minute of time and every contingency – or so he thought. He’s fixed her favorite meal and memorized a few love poems to sweep her off her feet. It’s Valentine’s Day, after all. It’s meant to be special. He didn’t count on a snowstorm, visits by the witch, and something mysterious and scary Marguerite is keeping from him.
Will this proposal between them ever work out? Their hot need for each other might burn up the sheets, but can it overcome their secrets? What’s Marguerite hiding? And why can’t Deke bring himself to pop the question? When something matters this much, it’s important to do it right, even when the witch tries to help you.
From the Author: When we last saw Marguerite and Deke in “Wine Into Water”, they had patched up their differences over water rights and the witch and seemed to be heading down the path to a Happily Ever After. In Love’s Touch of Justice, Deke shows his brother Jake the ring he plans to give Marguerite that Valentine’s night, with a proposal designed to sweep her off her feet and assuredly say yes. Will he get cold feet? And will she say yes?
Deke has been demanding to speak about these two lovebirds in this post-Wine story. They fight, they make up, and most of all, they love each other to distraction. Is there a nicer story for a holiday meant for love? I think not! Enjoy a night of special romance in Flynn’s Crossing!
